Congratulations Congratulations for choosing a Bosch HydroPower water heater. This appliance should give many years of trouble free use, when installed to the specifications contained in this document.

The Bosch Story Bosch Thermotechnology has been delivering hot water to Australia and New Zealand families for nearly 50 years, and forms part of the worldwide Thermotechnology division of Robert Bosch. With global sales of 1.4 million water heaters every

year, Bosch provide hot water solutions for every water heating need. Bosch pioneered continuous flow water heating in the late 1800’s and this tradition of innovation and invention still drives our company today.

Extensive research and development ensures that Bosch remains at the forefront of water heating technology. With an extensive product range, Bosch strives to deliver products designed to fit the lifestyle of today’s modern families.

Product Overview HydroPower Ignition is exclusive to Bosch. HydroPower used the energy created by water flow to ignite the burner and begin the heating process. The unit only starts when a hot water tap is opened. Once hot water is no longer needed, the unit turns itself off. 1. Water enters the Hydro

Dynamic Generator 2. The turbine spins with water

pressure 3. A spark is generated by the

turbine 4. The spark ignites the main

burner 5. The water continues to the

heat exchanger and is heater External HydroPower External HydroPower models are perfect for a constant, reliable service of hot water. The HydroPower ignition provides endless hot water at the flick of a tap, without the need of power point. Versatile • LPG models are particularly popular in

country areas, where reticulated gas is not installed and there is no external power point.

• Are able to operate in relatively low water pressure areas and in low temperature regions of Australia and New Zealand using Bosch accessories.

Economical • Only heating water when required by the

user, the Bosch range is extremely economical to run.

Internal HydroPower Limited space need not mean limited hot water. The Bosch range of internal hot water heaters are created specifically to go places where storage units will not, and will provide endless hot water. Versatile • Operable without a power point • Compact design • Flexible connections • Caters for a wide range of applications and

needs Economical • Only heating water when required by the

user. • HydroPower ignition means no standing

pilot light, no batteries and no mains electricity is required.

Operating Instructions Purge all water and gas pipes before operating. Adjust appliance with only one tap operating. Green light on = Main burner on Green light off = Main burner off Red light flashing: Fault Indication Output control

Water Flow Adjustment

Turn anti-clockwise Water flow increases, temperature diminishes Turn clockwise Water flow decreases, temperature increases. Warning If the appliance does not operate, burns with yellow flame, leaks water or a gas smell is evident, turn off and contact the local gas authority, the manufacturer or an authorised service person. Freezing Weather In areas where the atmospheric temperature may drop below 0°C the heater must be drained to prevent damage by expansion of freezing water. For appliances installed in locations where the temperature falls below 0°C and not less than -2°C for brief periods, the installation of an EXOGEL expansion valve, part number H707 060 151, will minimise the possibility of damage to the appliance. This water heater MUST NOT be installed in areas where the temperature remains below 0°C for extended periods. CAUTION: It is recommended that for sanitary fixtures used primarily for the purpose of personal hygiene that a temperature control device be fitted (such as a tempering valve) as per AS.3498

10 Basic Steps for Installation 1. Check cold water supply pressures, min & max as per table below.

Model BOSCH 10H BOSCH 13H BOSCH 16H Minimum Inlet Pressure for maximum water flow

60 kPa 100 kPa 130 kPa

Minimum Inlet Pressure for minimum water flow

30 kPa 40 kPa 50 kPa

Maximum Inlet water pressure* 800 kPa 800 kPa 800 kPa

* If Inlet water pressure exceeds 800 kPa then a pressure reduction valve MUST be fitted. In the cases where the pressure reduction valve is less than 3 metres from the hot water unit then it must be fitted in conjunction with a cold water expansion valve. Failure to comply with this requirement may void the warranty. The preferable location for the pressure reduction valve is at the water meter.

2. Connection sizing as per table below.

Hot & Cold Water

1/2" BSP Male

Natural Gas

3/4" BSP Female

L.P. Gas

1/2" BSP Male

3. Determine most suitable location for appliance. Install only on an external wall, as close as

possible to the most frequently used hot tap. If the unit is to be installed on a combustible surface use a heat shield (Contact Bosch for part number). Allow a minimum air gap of 10mm between the flue and the heat shield.

4. Secure Heater to wall using two 10G X 5/16 hex head wood screws (Ramset 610041 or

similar). 5. Locate & connect cold and hot water piping to hot water appliance. Install gate valve or full

flow ball valve (fixed mechanism type) in cold water. If the water supply pressure exceeds 800 kPa, install a pressure limiting valve. If installing a pressure limiting valve fit a cold expansion valve between the limiting valve and the appliance. PLV=500 kPa Cold Expansion=700 kPa. Refer to AS 5601(AG 601) and AS3500.1 for the relevant pipe size.

NOTE: Service calls for incorrect pipe sizing will NOT be covered under warranty.

6. Test Inlet Gas Pressure while unit is running, adjust regulator to give values in table below.

Model BOSCH 10H BOSCH 13H BOSCH 16H Inlet Gas Pressure NG 1.13 kPa 1.13 kPa 1.13 kPa Inlet Gas Pressure LPG 2.75 kPa 2.75 kPa 2.75 kPa

Natural Gas: With the gas supply turned off, remove sealing screw from inlet pressure test point located on the left hand side of the gas section, attach manometer. Turn on gas , open hot water tap fully and adjust gas pressure regulator to 1.13 kPa . Turn off gas and water, remove manometer, replace sealing screw and test for soundness.

8

LP Gas: No adjustment is provided at the appliance for inlet pressure, check cylinder regulator and pipe sizing. For LPG we recommend the installation of two or more supply cylinders and an auto change over pressure regulator

7. Adjust Burner pressure. Turn of gas supply, loosen captive screw in burner pressure test point,

left hand side of burner manifold. Attach manometer, turn on gas and open hot water tap fully, check pressure.

8. Minimum Gas Pressure Adjustment. Attach manometer to burner test point (see picture above)

Set water flow selector fully clockwise (hot position). Move gas slide to left side, single flame symbol, open hot tap fully. Turn adjustment screw (Position C in picture below) located on left hand side of gas valve at a 45° angle to correct pressure. Anti clockwise to decrease minimum burner pressure.

Water quality All Bosch water heating appliances are constructed from high quality materials and components and all are certified for compliance with relevant parts of Australian and New Zealand gas, electrical and water standards. Whilst Bosch water heaters are warranted against defects, the warranty is conditional upon correct installation and use, in accordance with detailed instructions provided with the heater, in the case of the water supplied to the heater, it is important that the water quality be of acceptable standard. The water quality limits/parameters listed in water quality table are considered acceptable and generally, Australian and New Zealand suburban water supplies fall within these limits/parameters. In areas of Australia and New Zealand where water may be supplied, either fully or partly, from bores, artesian wells or similar, one or more of the important limits may well be exceeded and the heater could, therefore, be at risk of failure. Where uncertainty exists concerning water quality, intending appliance users should seek a water analysis from the water supplying authority and in cases where it is established that the water supply does not meet the quality requirements of the water quality table, the Bosch warranty would not apply.
